“While Susan Collins’ campaign is backed by billionaire donors, our campaign is built on a movement funded by the people, with an average donation of $26,” said Graham Platner’s campaign manager.
A new analysis of campaign finance data shows that nearly 100 billionaires and their spouses have contributed to Republican Sen. Susan Collins’ reelection bid so far, funneling nearly $10 million to the incumbent’s campaign committee and PACs supporting her effort to fend off progressive challenger Graham Platner.
The Maine Monitor on Thursday published a list of billionaires who have donated to Collins and Platner, who has called his Republican opponent a “corrupt” protector and beneficiary of an oligarchic political system.
The outlet noted that Collins’ billionaire donation total “stands in stark contrast with the fundraising of her opponent… whose campaign has mostly attracted smaller amounts of funds but from many more people.”
Doesn’t always work, Kamala had more billionaires backing her than trump .
Unless you want to advocate voting for Stein, which is fine, you’ll just have to deal with a large chunk of people here caling you a Russian bot.
A better rule of thumb is “who are the Zionist and Billionaires funding”. Personally, I really dislike Platner. But when I see literally every Zionist group funding attack campaigns it really doesn’t matter anymore. It’s a single election. If I was in Maine, I’d go vote against what the Zionist clearly want.
Does the chud betray us and turn into a Fetterman? Maybe. Maybe he has a stroke too. But I want Israel to stop getting bombs. I don’t have to like Platner. But I am excited that a candidate that says he wants to stop weapons shipments to Israel is actually popular in a purple state like main. That is amazing. And no amount of virtue signaling will take that away from me.
I’ve been fighting Zionism since I was in college in 2015. Platner winning would be good for the entire movement of the left. Even if he doesn’t follow through. People don’t want “it’s complicated centrist”. You don’t have to compromise. You can win elections while being against the genocidal apartheid state. That is absolutely a win.
Sort of…
There are many unaccounted for, could just be those who are backing dems are OK with that being public vs through a PAC.
Trump, an actual Russian asset and known pedophile with deep ties to a fascist tech oligarchs
Harris, an empty suit who took the nomination sans primary and immediately handed her campaign to the Cheney family
Jill Stein, a perennial fail candidate with no meaningful ties to anyone who mostly just campaigns on climate change and anti-war issues
I mean, if you want the Harm Reduction Candidate, it’s obviously Stein.
But if you’re heavily invested in partisan politics, you just vote straight ticket
